Cromwell will play Dr. Arden opposite Jessica Lange’s character; both will work at an East Coast institution for the criminally insane – the backdrop for the upcoming season.
Lange, Adam Levine, Zachary Quinto, Chloe Sevigny, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Lily Rabe and Lizzie Brochere are starring. More cast members from season one are expected to return.
“It’s a completely different world and has nothing to do with Season 1; there’s not a mention of Season 1,” series co-creator Ryan Murphy told the outlet. “The second season is set in a completely different time period.”
